NC really rewards diving into the cool places and punishes living in the strip-mall-and-sprawl parts.
This. I want this, so much.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

-th, here, echoing what -ch and smonster and Bev have to say.
I have almost a complete ignorance of Rocky Mount and Greenville. Darth, if he still posted here, grew up in Rocky Mount, IIRC. Went to a conference in Greenville once, and spent most of my free time in the local Target, if that tells you anything. I would def. recommend Raleigh over Greenville.
As an alum of UNC-Chapel Hill, I do tend to be biased in favor of it.
I would put the commute from Chapel Hill-Carrboro to Greensboro at about 45 minutes to an hour. When I lived on the west side of Carrboro, my roommate commuted to UNC-G every day and made it in 45 minutes. But he also got three speeding tickets in a year, so YMliterallyMV.
And yes, we would all definitely play with you if you moved to the area, AND WE COULD USE ANOTHER AMY, YES.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
every individual town has a really, really different feel to it. There's really no "I'm an hour away from the town I really want to live in and that's close enough" -- if you're an hour away, it's a completely different life.
Oh, yeah. And we have fun little towns to explore, too, like Hillsborough and Pittsboro.
Even Carrboro and Chapel Hill, which are a ten-minute *walk* away from each other have very, very different vibes.
True true.

AMYS UNITE. Or something.
Wait, what's in Greensboro? Also, I guess at least one school would have to take me, right? ::puppy eyes::

And while Duke may be pricey as a school, living there is less pricey than Chapel Hill/Carrboro in many cases, and the two towns are totally within commuting distance. Most of my friends who own live in Durham, regardless of whether they work/go to school in Durham or Chapel Hill. And Durham is a fun town.
